Okay, let’s talk about this Clash at the Castle QR code thing. I remember hearing the buzz about it right after the show.
Getting Started – The Hunt
So, first thing, I was actually watching the event live. But you know how it is, sometimes you miss these little background details. Someone mentioned online, “Did you see the QR code?”. I hadn’t. Naturally, I got curious. You see these things pop up now and then, little easter eggs.
My first step was simple. I had the event recorded, so I went back. Had to scrub through it a bit. It wasn’t super obvious, flashed pretty quick during a backstage segment or maybe an entrance, can’t recall exactly which bit now. Found it eventually, yeah. Just a little square on the screen for a few seconds.
The Scanning Process
Alright, got the timestamp. Paused the playback right on the frame. Pulled out my phone. Here’s where it got a little fiddly.
- Tried scanning directly off the TV screen. The glare was a bit of a pain.
- Moved closer, then further away. Angle had to be just right.
- My phone camera took a second to focus properly on the TV image.
Persistence paid off though. After maybe three or four tries, adjusting the brightness on the TV and my position, the phone finally buzzed. It recognized the code. Felt like a small victory, you know?
What Came Next
So, what amazing thing did it lead to? Well, it wasn’t anything earth-shattering for me personally at that exact moment. It popped open a webpage. Seemed like part of one of those cryptic storylines they run, the ‘White Rabbit’ stuff maybe, or something similar that was brewing.
It was a bit basic, honestly. Some weird graphics, maybe a riddle or a short, glitchy video. Can’t remember the exact details now, it blended in with all the other clues they were dropping around that time.
The main thing was the process itself. Finding it, getting the scan to work. It was a fun little distraction, trying to piece together what they were hinting at. Didn’t lead to a free t-shirt or anything, just another piece of their ongoing puzzle.
So yeah, that was my little adventure with the Clash at the Castle QR code. A bit of rewinding, some phone fiddling, and a quick look at a cryptic webpage. Just another day trying to keep up with all the weird stuff they throw at us fans.
